Tigers @ Astros

At Minute Maid Park

(6-4)

Casey Mize

RHP

1-0, 0.82 ERA, 9 SO

Mize looked solid in his season debut but still lasted just four innings with one run allowed, thanks in part to pitch count. His four-seam fastball and sinker were both well up in velocity from last season’s averages.

1-1, 4.08 ERA, 10 SO

Greinke has two of the longest outings by an Astros starting pitcher so far this season, throwing six innings April 1 and seven innings Tuesday. He's given up two earned runs, eight hits and one walk in 13 innings (0.69 WHIP).
